Last night was the opening party of CASA NONNA where Chef Amy
Brandwien (previously of Fyve at the Ritz Pentagon City & Galileo,
amongst other locations) is ensconced in the kitchen. If her kithcen
is as secure as she was last night, this place will be amazing. She
schmoozed with the huge crowd as folks lined up for superb drinks (the
Limoncello Lemonade was my fave), tasty pizza, amazing antipasto
(golden beets, prosciutto & watermelon was a hit) and an entire buffet
showing off what will be to come. The swordfish puttanesca was great,
but I marveled at the Garlic Bread which laid on the table for quite a
time and still was soft and tasty!
We are looking forward to taking Samuel back to this truly Italin
bistro-style casual spot just a block from DUPONT CIRCLE at 1250
Connecticut Ave, NW.
